little help

[dozuki]

I have slowly been gathering the tools I will need to make my first kitless pen or at least to attempt it. I have a bock nib and feed housing and my research says it needs a 7.9mmX6mm and I can't find one anywhere. I looked on Classic Nib and couldn't find it and I checked a few other places I can't remember of the top of my head. So if there is a vender here that carries it or if any one could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

Thanks for the help. I am going to order from Beaufort. I don't need all of them do I.

I see I have more research to do.

Just seen your post Paul. Wish I'd seen it sooner. Your order went off to you today, and I put in a spare housing for you to have a play with, without risking the one on the nib.

Just make sure that the unthreaded part on the inside of your section is a mm or so longer than the unthreaded part of the housing, so it doesn't lock up by running out of thread, and you'll be a few emails ahead of others who are just starting out down the custom road.

Good luck
Phil

Zulu thanks for all the good information. I ordered one of the three taps from Beaufort. Unfortunately I didn't see your message until after I had ordered.

Phil thanks for the extra. I can't wait to start practicing. I think I will be getting the rest of the set in the future and I will be giving you the business.
That didn't really sound right. Lets say I will be ordering my taps and dies from you. You also have a nice selection of ebonite that I will be ordering more of in the future.
